Unrestricted free-agent OT Jon Jansen (Lions) said he wants to wait to see what kind of interest he receives from other teams before deciding on whether he will retire, according to Dave Birkett, of the Detroit Free Press.

The Detroit Lions have released OT Jon Jansen, reports MLive.com's Tom Kowalski. Jansen had been sharing reps at right tackle a week ago but was released as Detroit looks to get younger along their offensive line. Jansen had been one of Detroit's most consistent tackles, but OT Gosder Cherilus had played better as training camp wore on and OT Corey Hilliard offers them flexibility with the ability to play both right and left tackle.

John Niyo, of The Detroit News, reports Detroit Lions OT Gosder Cherilus started the team's Week 16 game at right tackle, but he was replaced by OL Jon Jansen on two of the team's six first-half possessions. Jansen replaced Cherilus at halftime of the team's Week 15 game.
